I'm currently trying to answer the missing FAQ question that reads "Who uses PerlMonks?" and I think that my answer is quite incomplete. Maybe if you all help me answering "who are you?"

I will have enough material to answer the "Who uses PerlMonks.org?" question. Can you help me? If you think so, please answer the folloing questions, and I will summarize them to answer "Who uses the PerlMonks.org?".

Oh! Maybe you don't agree about my method. In this case, I recommend you to manifest yourself and talk to me. I would love to read considerations about this meditation, too.

What is your age?

What is your gender?

What is your occupation?

On what country do you live?

What is your latest study degree?

Where do you use perl (work|home|college)?

How often you login to PerlMonks.org?

I will summarize this information at July, 29, 2003. Until there, all answers are welcome.

That's what bart said. Personally, I don't see the point.
"How many 5-letter-username-without-the-letter-e monks like
watermelon but dislike the color purple "is rather frivolous
information, even for the terminally curious such as myself.
In any event, see my other reply

Unfortunatelly, I'm lacking the necessary time to analise the data and come with something more elaborated to answer the questions "Who Am I?", "Who Are You?" and "Who Are Us?", that motivated this posting.

For this reason, I'm asking for a volunteer to summarize the data and analise it, and post the results here. Maybe a generous Perl Monk read this posting and would help finish this effort.
